Lady Su's Revenge

Qu Lu smiled. Even if she got the antidote of the Hongchen Powder from Su Li by using the arrangements of Hehuan Sect in Yunjing, how could she escape from the Hehuan Sect with the cultivation of acquired hurdle?

If she really promised, she had to die in the end.

“The second way of cooperation is that you... work for me!”

Then Su Li saw Qu Lu’s expression change slightly. She couldn’t help but smile, “Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have other thoughts for you. I just want to say that if you are willing to betray the Hehuan Sect and join me, as long as you do what you have to do, I will make sure that you can have an unscathed retreat.”

“Unscathed retreat?”

Qu Lu looked sarcastic and said, “How can I have an unscathed retreat? And how do I know that this time I just get out of the wolf’s den and then I jump into the tiger’s mouth?”

Su Li raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “Would you rather be shackled by the Hongchen Powder for all your rest life and give your life to others for control than try my proposal?”

When hearing what Su Li said, Qu Lu felt shocked and a hint of struggle flashed through her eyes. Then she said with difficulty, “Who is willing to be a puppet without freedom at all? But you came here strangely. If you do not tell me why you are here, I won’t trust you at all.”

Su Li sat cross-legged in front of Qu Lu and said in a calm voice, “The power of my sect is naturally inferior to the Hehuan Sect which is in the nine grades of rank in the feudal regimes, but if it refers to the skills of hiding people, the Hehuan Sect is far behind me. Just like this...”

When Su Li was talking, her appearance became into another ordinary face at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it’s not because that she did not change her clothes, Qu Lu could not see that the two were the same person at all!

“...You?!”

Qu Lu felt shocked and stared at Su Li with her eyes widely opened. This was the powerful disguise skill. If she could master a little, she could completely change her identity after she detoxified the Hongchen Powder. Even if she stayed in Yunjing, people of the Hehuan Sect couldn’t find her.

With this in mind, Qu Lu was interested in What Su Li said.

“Not everyone can reach the highest level of the powerful disguise skill. You should know it very well. However, I have a secret method that is easier to practice. As long as you can show me your qualification, I will give you the disguise skill and the antidote of the Hongchen Powder personally. What do you think?”

When hearing Su Li’s words, Qu Lu looked stern and made a decision.

“What should I do?”

Su Li smiled happily.

After an hour, Su Li unfolded the folding fan and left the Hongyan House slowly. Qu Lu on the second floor opened the window and watched Su Li go. She had mixed feelings and she knew that after today, she would be in danger like dancing on the tip of the knife. She would be cut into pieces if she was not careful!

Su Li walked out of the alley of brothels and the smell of the rouge disappeared. Then she took a deep breath and felt relaxed. Qu Lu could help her inquire about news, and the Linli Building could develop easily.

It was still early. Su Li saw a clothes shop and was about to go in, she suddenly heard a thick voice coming from the street behind her.

“Practice divination! Point the way! Free for those predestined! Childe, you have a strange life and you are predestined to meet me. Why don’t you try it?”

Su Li’s expression changed slightly. She followed the sound and saw a ragged beggar sit cross-legged on the ground. He placed a broken bowl in front of him. There were not much copper coins inside. If there wasn’t a piece of cloth writing “Divination” near the broken bowl, she could think that he was a beggar.

The beggar saw Su Li come to him and his eyes was instantly shining. Then he continued to say, “It’s free if the divinatory symbols don’t work! I have a good command of the yin and yang and five elements. Nine times are effective in the ten times and I don’t boast!”

Su Li shook her head slightly and turned to leave. Suddenly, she just felt that the old beggar was a very capable person.

The old beggar immediately felt anxious. He used his dirty hands to practice divination with an air of importance. He was mumbling some words. Su Li listened carefully and found that he was saying, “All gods bless me and I’m the best fortune teller in the world!”

Maybe one of the gods listened to him. After several seconds, the old beggar seemed to have predicted something and his eyes were shining. He shouted, “Please don’t go! What I will say is true. You have a strange life. You seem to have been through two lives. How weird it is!”

Snapped!

When hearing the old beggar’s words, Su Li was stiff. She stopped her steps.

A common old beggar on the street could see that she was reborn?!

Su Li felt astounded and slowly turned around. Her stiff expression changed in a blink of an eye. She looked kind at once. Then she turned around and came to the old beggar. She handed out a bank note with a denomination of 100 and said with a smile,

“Two lives? I have never heard of such words. That’s a little interesting. I am not that busy today. So, practice divination for me.”

Pedestrians saw the scene and could not help but shake their heads. The old beggar was a famous liar in Yunjing. What he said wasn’t true at all and there were people who were fooled by him.

When the old beggar saw the bank note with a denomination of 100, his turbid eyes immediately were lit. Su Li did not see how his hands moved, and the bank note in her hand was stuffed into his arms.

Such an old beggar who loved money so much...

Su Li felt puzzled. For a time, she suspected that the old beggar made a wild guess. But what he said before was not like random speculation.

The old beggar rubbed his hands together and let Su Li reach out her palm. He took three pieces of dirty worn copper coins and put them in Su Li’s palm. Then he put his hands together and said some words that Su Li couldn’t understand. Then, he devoutly took those copper coins from Su Li’s hand.

Su Li wasn’t sure that if it was an illusion. The colors of these three copper coins got darker than before.

The old beggar took the copper coins and threw them into the sky. At the same time, he said in a gentle voice. This time, Su Li finally heard what he was saying.

“In the cycle of the heaven and earth, the secret is self-evident!”

Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!

The three copper coins seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and fell to the ground at a very fast speed with tinkles!

Su Li became stern and stared at the old beggar. The person really had some real skills.

When the copper coins fell to the ground, the old beggar lowered his head and looked at them. His expression changed sharply and he spewed up a big mouthful of blood!

Su Li felt nervous and thought that the old beggar would say something shocking. But, the old beggar said with hatred, “I lost. My blood is worth more than 100 taels!”

Su Li squinted her eyes. Then she stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the old beggar got up and hold Su Li’s ankle. He said repeatedly, “Ah! Childe, childe... I was joking and I’ll tell you what the meaning of the trigram is right now!”

Su Li stopped and sat down again.

The old beggar shook his head and sighed in a sad voice, “Public morality is not what it used to be. Now the business is harder and harder for me to do. The sign of your trigram is clearly the worst of all evils! Evil can never prevail over good since ancient times. People who have this trigram must have a lot of bad luck and will come to a terrible end! But you’re the exception!”

When the old beggar said, he felt puzzled. Then he pointed to the extremely inconspicuous broken line of the copper coins,

“A year and a half ago, you should have a doomed disaster. It is only ten percent for you to live! But now you are standing in front of me animatedly and it is really confusing. As the saying went, one survived from the disaster will be blessed after! Maybe it’s because of the doomed disaster that your life was changed, and you gain a chance to survive from your doomed disaster!”

Su Li was silent all the time. A year and a half ago, it was the day of her rebirth. The doomed disaster referred to the death of the previous life. The divinatory symbol was so effective that it scared her.

“It’s the second time that I met people who has this divinatory symbol!” The old beggar seemed to think of a very unpleasant memory. He gnashed his teeth and said, “That is the first playboy in Yunjing! I only told a little and was almost beat to death by him. It is really hateful!”

Su Li heard the old beggar’s words and blinked. It was Ling Li... What was Ling Li’s origin was indeed unclear and most of the things he taught her were not from the Dahan Country. But even she went to the Real Spiritual Circle, a higher-level world in previous life, she didn’t find anything related to Ling Li.

Ling Li’s hometown was farther away than the Real Spiritual Circle...

With this in mind, Su Li smiled and asked, “Master, what you said was too frightful to be true and I really didn’t believe it. But if what you said is true, how can I solve it?”

The old beggar coughed softly and rubbed his hands. Obviously, he wanted more money.

Su Li slowly stood up, and the old beggar was panicked. He immediately explained, “Divination and explanation are totally separated. This is a rule. Even if you are predestined to meet me, you have to give me some “thank you” reward, right?”

Su Li was silent for a moment. Then she squatted down and took out a bank note. This time... it was a thousand taels!

The old beggar’s eyes were shining even more and he took the bank note into his hand, and then he muttered, “You are more generous than Ling Li, that naughty boy!”

Su Li was in a daze and remembered that the old beggar said that Ling Li didn’t believe what he said. How could he let the old beggar explain the divinatory symbol if he didn’t believe him? It seemed that the old guy was hiding something.

When the old beggar took the money, he picked up the pitch-dark copper coins and scraped the dirt from the copper coins, and then he poured them into the inkstone that he took it from his arms. He grinded it and let it melt completely. Then he took out a writing brush and dipped some ink. He said to Su Li, “Extend your hand! This is my treasure. I didn’t even use it when drew magic figures for the little bastard Ling Li!”

That meant that he did it because of the silver.

Su Li hesitated for a while. She finally reached out her hand and revealed a white wrist. The old beggar couldn’t help but whisper, “Your wrist is more tender than that of a little silly girl...”

Su Li’ expression changed and before she said something, the old beggar held the writing brush and unskillfully draw a circle in Su Li’s wrist. It was very ugly and wasn’t like the runes at all.

The old beggar seemed to be unsatisfied. He looked at a circle of extremely ugly ink marks and whispered for a moment. Then he made another circle and blended with the black circle before. It became darker and thicker...

Was the old guy deliberately making fun of Su Li?!

Coldness flashed through Su Li’s eyes. When she was about to give the old beggar a lesson, suddenly...
